It's the rootinest tootinest hoedown in the west! Filmmaker and friend of the show, Caroline Golum, is on hand to tell us why she thinks Nicholas Ray's JOHNNY GUITAR should be included in the Flixwise Favorites List. She's gotta convince her fellow panelists, Lady P and Anne Marie Kelly, that Joan Crawford's turn as a reluctant gunslinger is more than just campy fodder for the midnight movie crowd.
JOHNNY GUITAR wasn't a great commercial or critical success upon its release, but the years have been kind to Nicholas Ray's alternative cowperson picture. Much has been written and said about its queer subtext and overt feminist themes. Our panel tackles these subjects and they deliberate over whether JOHNNY GUITAR is worthy of entry into the great movie canon.
